Bethanie Edwards, Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry.
The large global impact of microscopic life in the ocean drew Bethanie Edwards to the field of microbial oceanography and continues to inspire her scientific interests. In addition to her studies, Edwards has made a point to live out the motto of her liberal arts alma mater, Unto the whole person, teaching yoga, co-founding the Society for Women in Marine Science, attending United Nations negotiations of the Minamata Convention on mercury, competing in the world of fitness and bodybuilding, and dancing burlesque. Her career aspirations include securing a faculty position that would allow her to inspire burgeoning scientists and represent black women in academia, as well as forming a startup aimed at bringing a more scientific approach to the fitness and wellness industries.
